"In a large bowl add the tuna with its olive oil and the salt and pepper. Break up the tuna into bite-size pieces, then gently toss in the beans and onions. Drizzle with the red wine vinegar and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the salad to plates and serve."

I'm not telling you to starve but you should walk away from every meal not eating everything on your plate. Portion sizes are HUGE these days. You don't need that much food and neither does the guy next to you. I hate wasting food so I get what I don't eat to go.

fyi Working out like crazy and not seeing any results? Doing A LOT of cardio can increase your appetite causing you to consume more than you're burning. If this is you, decrease the *intensity of your workouts for a bit and EAT LESS. The pounds will fall off and you'll come to realize it really isn't that much fun stuffing your face!

I'm a veteran personal trainer with lots of success stories under my belt. I specialize in people with injuries and work well with fit individuals too. I think flexibility is key to a person's ability to move with ease and a strong core can make you superman. I'm very enthusiastic and often believe more in my clients than they do. Guess who's right?!? I think guilt is a wonderful training tool. If you are too ashamed to admit that you haven't walked or done your stretches/crunches, then you'll do them so you can say 'yes I did.'
